An Influence of Topical Treatment Lavender Essential Oil on Wound Healing Process Through Enhanced Collagen Synthesis and Anti-Microbial Effects: A Literature Review
Main Article Content
Abstract
Aromatherapy, that employs essential oils extracted from numerous plants and herbs, is wide used and is turning into a significant complementary and alternative medicines. Among numerous complementary and various medicines, inhalation aromatherapy has particularly received attention principally for its effects of relaxation and improvement of emotional or psychological conditions, and a few clinical trials have recommended the potential of aromatherapy for anxiety, insomnia, stress, and pain. In in vitro and in vivo experiments, some essential oils were recommended to act as anti-inflammatory drug, anti-viral, anti-tumor, anti-hyperglycemic, anti-carcinogenic agents, support treatment of wounds, and facilitate healing. Lavender volatile oil is anticipated to possess a useful result on wound healing as a result of some evidences for its result were already rumored. The last study rumored that topical treatment with lavender oil on aphthous ulceration showed a big ulcer size reduction as compared to control in both an animal experiment and a clinical study.
